Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, who was kidnapped to another world

Since fusing with those dragon horns that appeared out of nowhere, Xiao Yan's flames contain "dragon energy" that can subdue the vast majority of dragon-type soul beasts.

Because these two dragon souls were seventh-tier soul beasts in their previous lives, Xiao Yan initially didn't expect the thin dragon energy to have any effect, or rather, even if it did, it would only make them hesitate. However—

After being struck by the purplish-red flames, the two dragon souls let out painful howls and churned in the spring water.

Although he didn't know why the dragon energy from the dragon horn was so effective, Xiao Yan wouldn't let go of the opportunity to beat a dog when it was down. He clenched his fist, and a giant black ruler appeared in his hand. Then, the Ice Spirit Fire and the Fire Refining Talisman condensed in front of Xiao Yan, and finally transformed into a huge fire ruler.

Then, the Xuanzhong Ruler merged with the giant fiery ruler, unleashing an extremely terrifying fluctuation.

Perhaps it was because Xiao Yan really liked the Xuan Heavy Ruler, or perhaps it was because the Fire Refining Talisman he formed with his spiritual power had not yet surpassed the eighth grade of the Xuan Heavy Ruler, but this special fusion technique with the Fire Refining Talisman as the main body, which Xiao Yan called the "Flame Xuan Talisman", still presented the appearance of a giant fire ruler. However, the special patterns of the Xuan Heavy Ruler had completely changed to the appearance on the Fire Refining Talisman.

Although it still resembles a fire ruler, it differs from the Fire Refining Mystic Talisman Ruler. This Flame Mystic Talisman relies on Xiao Yan's spiritual power, and moreover, it relies on spiritual power that temporarily surpasses the limits of a Heavenly Talisman Master and is infinitely close to the level of a Lesser Immortal Talisman Master.

"cut!"

Without any manual control, the Flame Profound Talisman expanded several times its original size, and then silently slashed down.

It was as if the heavens and earth were cleaved apart within this one-foot space. A scorching aura spread out, and the two howling and struggling dragon souls melted quietly, like solid ice meeting fire.

Chapter 96 Twin Dragons Extreme Ice and Fire

Under Xiao Yan's terrifying attack, the two dragon souls were destroyed without any resistance.

With a wave of his hand, Yao Lao collected the two dragon souls that had shattered into countless pieces. After casually kneading them, the Bone Spirit Cold Flame formed a small prison in his hand, and the two dragon souls were thus imprisoned inside.

"Those two giant dragons should both have soul bones. Let's take out the soul bones first."

Yao Lao's words surprised Xiao Yan somewhat, "Taking out the Soul Bone and the Origin Flame is no different from destroying this spiritual land, is it?"

Even though these two dragons are not magical beasts, their soul bones and primordial flames must be the reason why their corpses could form this spiritual land. Taking them all would be no different from destroying this spiritual land.

"You're planning to stand right next to their corpses and absorb the beast fire without any assistance?" Yao Lao asked helplessly. "And you don't actually believe what I said earlier about the energies in these two dragons being able to merge, do you?"

Xiao Yan finally came to his senses. What he was eyeing was not just the primordial flames within the fire-attribute dragon's body!

Simply putting the two energies together might result in one-sided absorption.

As Xiao Yan began diligently searching for the soul bones of the giant dragon corpse, Yao Lao commented.

"However, with these two shattered dragon souls, these two energies might begin to merge, just like the two dragons did in life..."

"Before death? Fusion?" Xiao Yan turned around in surprise.

"You don't actually think these two dragons died together because they perished together, do you?" The old apothecary's face revealed a subtle expression.

“Uh…” Xiao Yan’s eyes darted around.

The old doctor shook his head helplessly.

·

"Is this the primordial flame of that red dragon?"

A few minutes later, at the bottom of the Yin-Yang Well, Xiao Yan, having dealt with the two incomprehensible dragon souls, began to take stock of his gains. The two dragon corpses were still in the same place, but Xiao Yan had already extracted the soul bones from their corpses.

After Xiao Yan separated the primordial flame from the red dragon's body, he stored it in the soul bone it provided. As a part of the red dragon's body, it contained the pure energy of the red dragon and, as a storage device for the flame, also had the effect of purifying the flame.

Crimson flames surged within the soul bone, radiating hints of dragon might.

The other soul bone, originating from the blue dragon, contains the dragon's water elemental energy.

The icy blue water elemental energy rippled in the vermilion pool. Not only was it suppressed, but Xiao Yan even felt that the energy within was more active than when it was first extracted.

"Perfect for use as fusion material."

Xiao Yan turned his gaze to the pale white prison in Yao Lao's hand, which contained the fragments of the two shattered dragon souls.

"Next..."

Xiao Yan drew the two soul bones to his front and, under the keen observation of his spiritual power, slowly channeled his fighting spirit into the soul bones, attempting to draw and converge the two energies together.

This step went relatively smoothly. Crimson flames and icy blue energy appeared on the surface of the soul bone, gradually converging under the pull of spiritual power.

Storing the two types of energy in the soul bone and then re-extracting them, while convenient, also introduces some risks.

"Humph!"

Xiao Yan snorted coldly. Within the blood-red flames, a faint sense of greed, seemingly from instinct, emanated from him, as if he were treating the icy blue energy as food. This was the instinctive consciousness of the fire seed, devouring all the energy that could help it grow.

"Teacher, that's enough."

With his mental strength enhanced, Xiao Yan completely restrained the fire's greed, bringing it into a delicate balance with the icy blue energy, and then he called out softly.

Upon hearing this, Yao Lao released the prison of the Bone Spirit Cold Flame in his hand. Before the damaged dragon soul could react, Yao Lao's soul power enveloped it and finally threw it into the blood-red and ice-blue mixed energy ball in front of Xiao Yan.

Almost the instant the two shattered dragon souls entered the energy cluster, the two types of energy began to surge violently. Then, just as the old doctor had thought, with the activation of these two dragon souls, the most instinctive reaction of these two types of energy was not to devour each other, but to embrace and interact with each other.

The two colors of energy intertwined continuously. Xiao Yan watched this scene nervously. Although the presence of the two giant dragons made Yao Lao feel that the two energies could not be completely repelled, and everything was developing as Yao Lao had predicted, he dared not interfere with the intertwining of the two energies. If the two energies were to explode and disappear completely, he would have nowhere to cry.

Gradually, the energy fluctuations in front of Xiao Yan calmed down. Crimson and icy blue energies intertwined, swimming like yin and yang fish, while a scorching temperature emanated from them.

“If it weren’t for the color being wrong…” Xiao Yan licked his lips, “I would have thought it was Yin-Yang Twin Flames.”

Indeed, if you only look at the appearance, the flames formed by the two energies swimming like two fish are almost exactly the same as the Yin-Yang Twin Flames.

"Now that it's already taken shape, let's mark it as soon as possible."

Seeing the flames take shape as expected, Yao Lao breathed a sigh of relief, and then urged him on.

"Ah."

Xiao Yan nodded, his mental energy completely enveloping the flame, his mind focused as he probed the patterns of this newly formed flame.

Although the newly formed flame was quite resistant and unruly, it was ultimately formed under Xiao Yan's control. Moreover, its consciousness only came from the shattered dragon soul. Under Xiao Yan's repeated attacks, it gradually stopped resisting and was marked little by little.

About fifteen minutes later, Xiao Yan slowly exhaled, but his gaze remained fixed on the flames—

His spiritual energy completely entered the fire seed, and the instantaneous smoothness almost wiped away all the fatigue in his body.

With that, the first step is complete. The next step is to absorb the flame into your body, and then, following the usual steps, take it along the path of the Burning Technique a few times to completely subdue it.

After reviewing the preparations in his mind, Xiao Yan nodded, slowly closed his eyes, crossed his legs, formed a cultivation hand seal, focused his gaze on his nose and his mind on his heart, and gradually let the flame sink into his body.

The two-colored flames traveled unimpeded all the way and finally entered Xiao Yan's dantian, taking root precisely in the core of his fighting spirit, just like all the previous beast flames.

The moment the two-colored flames entered the core of Xiao Yan's Dou Qi, the Dou Qi vortex within his body exploded. Crimson Dou Qi surged forth, enveloping the two-colored flames. Under Xiao Yan's mental control, it pulled and began to circulate along the meridians of the Burning Technique.

As the Dou Qi enveloped the two-colored flames and entered the specific meridians of the Burning Technique, Xiao Yan trembled violently. Beads of cold sweat poured from his forehead, eventually flowing down his face like water and merging into the spring.

"Take the Meridian Protection Pill!"

Just as Xiao Yan was gritting his teeth and enduring the pain, Yao Lao's soft shout suddenly rang in his ears.

Hearing the shout, Xiao Yan took out a pill from his Awakening Flame Ring without hesitation, and then threw the white jade-like pill into his mouth.

The moment the Meridian Protection Pill entered his mouth, it transformed into a warm current that quickly rolled down his throat, passed through his body, and, under Xiao Yan's mental control, rapidly enveloped all the meridians he needed to cultivate the Burning Technique with a thin layer of white energy membrane.

Although this white energy membrane was extremely thin, its effects were remarkable. Shortly after swallowing the Meridian Protection Pill, Xiao Yan's tense muscles gradually relaxed, and his somewhat distorted face gradually returned to normal. Although he still occasionally felt a burning pain in his meridians, it was within Xiao Yan's tolerance range.

With the help of the Pulse Protection Pill, Xiao Yan felt much more relaxed. Although he still needed to take a Qi Recovery Pill from time to time to ensure that his fighting spirit was not completely consumed by the two-colored flame, it was enough for Xiao Yan to catch his breath.

Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner. However, just as all beast fire contains a violent intent that gradually corrodes one's mind, as the devouring intensified, Xiao Yan suddenly felt a surge of irritability.

However, before Xiao Yan could take out the Ice Heart Pill and rely on its medicinal power to protect his mind, those strange dragon horns suddenly appeared. Then, the feeling of irritation was like snow meeting a blazing fire, quickly melting away and disappearing.

'What tier of dragon-type magical beast's horn is it?'

Despite these doubts, Xiao Yan understood that he didn't need to pay too much attention to the violent intent of the beast fire. He immediately circulated his Dou Qi to the fullest extent and frantically refined the two-colored flames.

As the refining process intensified, Xiao Yan gradually discovered that the two-colored flames and his purplish-red Dou Qi were beginning to merge.

Integration is only a matter of time.

Understanding that this was a sign that the beast fire was being devoured by the Burning Technique, Xiao Yan was completely relieved and waited patiently.

The speed of the Dou Qi circulation increased, and in a certain instant, the Dou Qi, which had turned into a deep purple color, rushed out of the last meridian, completed a perfect cycle in Xiao Yan's body, and returned to his lower abdomen.

The swirling vortex in his lower abdomen suddenly stopped and then stood still.

At the same time, beneath the spring, Xiao Yan, whose eyes were tightly closed, suddenly opened his pupils, and a dazzling deep purple light shot out from his eyes, almost as if it were a tangible substance, extending more than half an inch.

A moment later, the deep purple light disappeared, and Xiao Yan slowly turned his head, looked at Yao Lao, and grinned foolishly: "Success!"

Yao Lao smiled and nodded. He could already sense that the Dou Qi within Xiao Yan's body was several times stronger than before.

"Let's see what level the Burning Technique has evolved to, intermediate or advanced."

The old man's question made Xiao Yan serious. He nodded, closed his eyes again, and focused his mind back into his body.

After focusing his mind on his body, he quickly arrived at his lower abdomen, specifically his dantian. Looking at the small, deep purple vortex of energy there, barely the size of a palm, Xiao Yan sighed helplessly.

When the Battle Qi Vortex was first condensed, it was the size of a dragon's eye. It was only with great difficulty that the Battle Qi Vortex was stretched to the size of a palm due to the increase in level. After becoming a Battle Master, the Battle Qi Vortex was compressed back to its original form. Now that it is ready to advance to a Great Battle Master at any time, it is still less than the size of a palm.

If it weren't for the almost overflowing deep purple liquid energy within this deep purple vortex, Xiao Yan would almost have thought that his cultivation over the past few years hadn't improved at all, and that his strength had been stagnant.

Watching the slowly rotating vortex, Xiao Yan's mind stirred, and a wisp of deep purple Dou Qi flowed out from it, then began to surge along the path of the Burning Technique.

As Dou Qi flowed through specific meridians, Xiao Yan was able to detect wisps of fire-attribute energy emerging from the surrounding spring water, which continuously attempted to penetrate Xiao Yan's skin and enter his meridians.

After resolutely rejecting the fire-attribute energies that would further strengthen his Dou Qi and bring him closer to the level of a Great Dou Master, Xiao Yan focused his attention on the wisp of Dou Qi circulating along the path of the Burning Technique.

After that wisp of Dou Qi completed its cycle and re-entered the Qi vortex, Xiao Yan's body trembled slightly. Then he slowly opened his eyes, looked at Yao Lao beside him, and said with a face full of joy, "High-level Yellow Rank, evolved two levels!"

"High-level Yellow Rank? That's somewhat unexpected."

Although he said that, the old doctor still nodded, "However, the flames provided by these two dragons also contain the energy of two seventh-tier magical beasts, plus the flames of the Ice Flame Wolf and the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent that you absorbed before... High-level Yellow Rank, it's not incomprehensible."

"However, given the unique nature of the Burning Technique, although it is only a high-level Yellow Rank technique, it is comparable to most low-level Profound Rank techniques," Yao Lao nodded in satisfaction. "In this way, at least until you become a Dou Ling, you don't have to worry about your technique falling behind those of the same level."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan nodded with a wry smile.

Because he had devoured beast fire multiple times, he believed that the Burning Technique could infinitely increase its level by devouring strange fire. However, Yao Lao still believed that the potential of the Burning Technique could not be proven until he actually tried to devour strange fire and evolve with it. If the evolution by devouring strange fire failed, he would arrange a new cultivation method for Xiao Yan.

Giving up the Burning Technique means that Yao Lao has given up his wish to be resurrected...

"Alright, why the grim face? This is the first evolution of the Burning Technique, a truly momentous occasion. Why the long face?" Yao Lao rolled his eyes after noticing Xiao Yan's increasingly unpleasant expression. "This is also your first beast fire of sufficient grade. Aren't you going to give it a more formal name?"

"Naming it..."

Xiao Yan quickly composed himself and fell into deep thought.

Looking at the deep purple flame in his hand, Xiao Yan pondered for a moment and divided it into the three initial beast flames: the purple flame of the Ice Flame Wolf, the deep red flame of the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent, and the red and blue flame here.

"Um... how about we call it Twin Dragons Extreme Ice and Fire?"

Perhaps because the red and blue flames also possess ice attributes, the Ice Seal talent from the Ice Flame Wolf could still be used normally after the fusion. Based on this, Xiao Yan hesitated before giving the newly formed beast fire a name.
